Explanation of his saying: (So when I die, do not wail over me, for no one wailed over the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)...)

The Shaykh : Just as in the man's will: "So when I die, do not wail over me, for no one wailed over the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And when I die, bury me in the land of Bakr ibn Wail, for I used to surprise them in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance". Here is a point where one should pause, but time is short, so we say: the man's will in his saying "And when I die, do not wail over me" means: when the certainty of death comes to me, do not cry over me with loud wailing. Loud wailing is wailing, and this is forbidden in Islam, especially if the wailing is from women. As for weeping with tears out of sadness, that is permissible, and it is a natural and innate matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wept over some of his children, including Ibrahim and his daughter Zaynab (peace be upon her). But this weeping was weeping of mercy and sadness at parting, not weeping of wailing and loud crying like the wailing of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. This is the last will that this man made to his children, and every will among them can serve as a will for every individual among the Muslims.
